Third chance at love

Lesson

" Lucy?" Regina was surprised to see her granddaughter here. " What is going on?" Regina and Raphael stood next to each other staring at the group of people who tucked into the food in front of them. 

" Don't worry Regina nothing is happening, Henry and Lucy just came to visit you and your lover boy." Zelena said which made Lucy quietly laugh to herself at Zelena comment on the Shadow-man's nickname. Henry greeted his mother with a gentle hug; minding her stomach and kiss on the cheek. It had been a while since he seen his mother. He had heard of the tragic events Facilier had went through from his  Aunt but most of all he had heard of the struggle Regina went through. Henry hated to see his mother stress and unhappy as he only wanted her to be happy but seeing her in front of him made him smile. When Regina walked into the room with her lover in her arms Henry could see the raw happiness in both of their eyes. 

" Me and Lucy were just hoping you was okay that's all and if Lucy lessons were still on now that Facilier is back?" Regina and Raphael looked at each other with disbelief. Regina never thought Henry would still agree after everything that happen but more importantly Lucy. She knew was apprehensive of Raphael from all the mean stories her mother had told her. 

" Are you sure you are comfortable with Henry?...What about Ella-)" Henry knew where his mother was going with this. " Don't about Ella this best for Lucy mum....we both know it." Lucy had lesson with Zelena which went well but Lucy still need lesson on how to control her magic. Facilier was the best choice to teach Lucy as Regina was heavily pregnant to help.Henry was worried if Lucy didn't get full training she would end up getting hurt or hurting people around her. She already had some bad accidents around the castle with setting on of the wooden tables on fire which Tiana to his knowledge still knows nothing about. " We was thinking maybe we could start tomorrow in the late morning if that okay with you." Henry said to Facilier. Raphael nodded in agreement. " Of course that should be fine we could meet here around 10." 

Dinner went down well as everyone tucked into Zelena lovely chicken stew. Lots of chatter and laughter went around which delighted Regina very much. When dinner finished all the ladies helped clear up leaving Henry and Facilier alone for the first time in the living room. Both men sat quietly enjoying the silence of each other.  However Facilier was the first to disturb the silence between them. 

" Thank you for giving me a chance to prove I have changed Henry. Lucy will be in good hands." Henry nodded but he still had some doubts. Yes he wanted to get to know Facilier for his mother's stake but Lucy means the world to him. If anything happen to her he would make this man suffer for sure. 

" If your as good as my mum said you are then please look after my Lucy that all I ask of you. She means everything to me." Henry said with a serious tone. Raphael understood and reassured Henry that Lucy will be fine. 

" I know you don't know me yet but I promise you with my life that Lucy will be in great hands no harm will come to her. Father to father I will promise you Lucy will learn how to control her magical ability." Henry looked at Facilier for any doubts but found none. Funny enough he trusted him to extent. He just hoped deep down he was making the right decision. Moving away form the that topic Henry and Raphael began talk about fatherhood which Henry was happy to give advice on.  When the ladies return Regina was happy to see her two favourite men were getting along. after all that was all she wanted.

Lucy first lesson in magic was now here and she was nervous. She was still anxious of the shadow-man but she trusted her Abuela and if she said he was okay then she took her word for it.  Creating a cover story for Ella Henry dropped Lucy off at Zelena's around 10. It wasn't long before Raphael appeared with a couple of magic books. Lucy took noticed of Raphael's weird clothes kind smile and funny top hat.
